Coco Gauff had gotten off to a very poor start at the WTA Finals, losing to Jessica Pegula in a match marked by 17 double faults on her part.

This Tuesday, the American was determined to redeem herself after working on her serve in training. Facing Jasmine Paolini, she won 6-3, 6-2, with only 3 double faults and just one break conceded.

Interviewed on court after her victory, she said: "I have participated in the WTA Finals where I lost all three of my matches. I was determined not to repeat that experience. I knew today's win was important to stay in the tournament. If I had lost, I would have been eliminated."

She will face Aryna Sabalenka this Thursday for the final day of the group stages.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
